20240329 mb05 Day 01 Wrap
It was just turning light as I left home. However, it rained all the way to Gloucester, which was not forecast and Costa didn’t open until 08:00, despite what its website said. The Lord High Constable of England for Coffee and Beer, Bacon Butties and Diet Cupcakes.
The Gloucester Brewery Easter Beer Festival, blowy but dry. Cask and Keg in plastic glass but as plastic glasses go, not bad. The first band had a young lady playing a Les Paul, solid for Easter.
Diet Cupcakes
When it’s lighter than you think. When the heavy rain isn’t forecast. When your Good Friday opening hours don’t reflect what your website says. Spoons for Bacon Butties and Diet Cupcakes. Yes, it’s #mb05 and I’m back in Gloucester.
Warehouse 4 of the Gloucester Brewery, a wrist strap and for plastic glasses, a rather nice one. Young ladies playing a Les Paul and should I spend £13 on a Burger. These are the big Good Friday questions. Missed the last video. It was Deya and it was B++

20240329 Prelude mb05 Gloucester March 24
The cold, Good Friday mini beano but at least the journey up was light, even if the clocks go forward over the weekend. Quicktime Player and a 1.45GB short, well that’s not good.
The journey up was much lighter than I thought it would be but not forecast, it rained all the way. With some very heavy rain on the M5. Costa’s website didn’t say that it would have later opening on Good Friday. Sainsbury’s opened as normal on a Friday and its website confirmed that.
Breakfast was in Spoons, not Costa therefore and it was cheaper too. Gloucester Brewery, The Pelican and The Hop kettle throughout the weekend.

mb04 2024 Unplugged
In tech news, trying to Excel on the Mac behave the same way as it does under Windows. The joys of Mini Beanoing. Additional Nectar points and Apple Gift Cards. A good day and lots of Fine Ales. A nice room but Travelodge need to work on their WiFi speeds.
Five and Dry
Of course the journey to Chippenham was damp. However, it was mostly light, which is a major positive. Costa then Spoons, The Bridge House. Five Fest Ales all reviewed and all halves. Sitting upstairs, overlooking the river. A very pleasant morning.
A boneless Chicken basket for lunch and then over to the Prince Of Wales. Dogs, Fine Ales and news of a new Craft Pub in July. Chippenham is becoming my new Portishead. Quality Beanoing.
20240309 Prelude mb04 Chippenham March 24
There’s me hoping it will be a mostly light journey to Chippenham and then the weather forecast tells me that it will be wet. Ah! Spring. Still, another year around the Sun.
The Plan, stock up with food for tea. Costa for a Coffee and Bacon Roll, Spoons for the Festival Ales and then The Prince of Wales for Craft Ales. Simple but effective.

Well, the change of hardware worked even if the result is slight soft. However, this time I will be able to generate subtitles.
The on check in video is missing, if for no other reason than I forgot. Updates on the weather and The Orange Tree and Beer in Hand.
Post Hereford Beer House Saturday afternoon and pre departure from Hereford. A Great Beano.
